Report module administration inquiry

[jMarshal]

When I am logged in as an admin, I can go to "view / run" for reports and see/access "all" of the reports in our instance...however if I go to "reports > administration > all", I see a different number of reports. There are approximately 300+ reports that are not "visible" or "available" via the "view / run" section/module of the Reporting Application (SPM module/core feature?)

...this is somewhat confusing because some of the "missing" reports include some user-created ones, not just oob ones or "system reports" (reports that underpin other features or processes) that I may not expect to show in the typical "view / run" user-centric interface.

Is there a setting or something that I'm missing when the report is created, to make it show up in the "view / run" section ?

reports>administration>all may show all the reports whether it is global, group or personal reports.

But I don't think view/all shows personal reports created by an individual other than your reports.

Perfect, thanks! A report created but not shared is accessible by admins via the list, but the "view / all" section would require it to be shared with a group that they're a member of, not based on if your account has "access" to the report. This is logical and fully answers my question, thanks again!
